Muggy Days
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes and YouTube…
Sure looks like this very moist airmass on top of us is parked for a while. No sign of any major change for the rest of the week and the weekend; each day will feature more clouds than sun, and scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. The best chance of stronger storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours, when the air is most unstable, but a few morning and late night showers will be possible. The latest QPF guidance from HPC is suggesting rainfall amounts of one to three inches for most all of Alabama through Friday night. Again, that sure sounds good for a state that is still pretty dry.
Because of the clouds and showers, temperatures will remain below normal, with daily highs in the 85 to 89 degree range on most days. I would imaging most folks won’t complain about that. Birmingham’s average high for today is 91.
LONG RANGE: Moist air will stay in place for at least the first half of next week, and the GFS continues to show the big upper air high, which represents hot and generally dry weather, well to the northwest of Alabama. Sure looks like a case for above normal rain and below normal daytime temperatures for the rest of July.
27 YEARS AGO: We were in the midst of an historic heat wave… I will write more about that here on the blog tonight. Today’s record high in Birmingham is 102 degrees, set in the midst of that really sizzling summer of 1980.
